He seems to be more comfortable now that reporters have been asked to gear questions to his lane.

Please know I'm not judging him at all. He's obviously very educated on this topic and it's refreshing to have an expert in their field talking to the press.
I'm projecting my own major fear of public speaking, even when it's in front of coworkers I know well and work with every day. Not that I speak from experience...

oh, look! They're not just going to give people stimulus checks, they're also focusing on education/outreach and helping people determine how much stimulus they can get and how to get it.

it's really comforting when an issue comes up and I think, "I wish someone would..." and then it turns out that they've already thought of that.
I shouldn't feel more competent than the people running things!

the Biden Administration is focused on combating domestic extremism and is directing ODNI, FBI and DHS, as well as NGOs as applicable, to study the rise and proliferation of domestic extremist violence

Sitting in front of a group for me, no biggie. Make me stand and address that same group and I black out and my brain stops working properly. This is true for any situation other than my immediate family.

LOL asked if the Impeachment trial will slow the momentum of progress she points to Mitch finding a way to pack the courts during the 2020 Impeachment, though not in so many words. She was more diplomatic.

I forgot to add that POTUS is speaking by phone with PM of Canada and President of Mexico later today It feels weird that all these *normal* events are what make me feel emotional. I’m not going to be checking the news later for whatever awful thing he said.

The DPA has been invoked and those processes are going forward.
POTUS supports DC statehood, but there's no timeline for making that happen just yet.

that makes me a little nervous. New York says they're going to run out of initial doses three days before they'll get more so the CDC is looking into releasing some of the doses held back for second doses.

they're being really thoughtful about how to address vaccine hesitancy. Jen says that many celebrities have reached out volunteering to help, which they appreciate, but data also shows that people most trust those in their own communities, so they're working to help build trust among those in communities where skepticism is highest.
